I think the numbers are great given the situation. Alot of entities have been burned before on TF titles (Developers, publishers, Hasbro and gamers). People have taken a wait and see attitude. The numbers may not be that good because, here comes a shocker, they did not produce a number of copies that could support sales that high.

In my city of Glasgow, Scotland (Largest city in Scotland, second or third largest in the UK) it was EXTREMELY hard to find this game.

Of the 7 dedicated Game/Gamestation stores in the city centre NONE of them had copies on the day after release.
This wasn't due to high sales, but rather it was because each store only got between 5 and 10 copies of the game, which for some of them didn't even cover their pre-orders.

HMV had a lot in stock, but everywhere else was a nightmare.

Thanks for the info everyone. If anyone finds the PC sales data, please post it.

I would love to see this game go to 1m units sold at least.

I am working on putting a tournament together at all the West Coast Art Institute locations where you can win tickets to Blizzcon.

Any PC Sales data yet? I know i went to my nearest best buy to pick this title up after beating the single player mode from a RELOADED version i had downloaded and they were sold out. YES. IF YOU MAKE A GOOD GAME AND LET ME PLAY IT FOR FREE. I WILL BUY IT FOR REPLAY/MULTIPLAY. So i say "Wow (that means people are actually paying for this game--i think to myself) Does the best buy in Pasadena have any in stock?" he pulls up his computer screen to check inventory which i can clearly read cuzz i worked retail in my lower 20s and saw that Best Buy Monrovia only received ONE copy opening week and 0 the following two weeks for the PC. Pasadena had 6 copies shipped opening week and 2 per week there after (according to the computer screen.)

But pasadena is like 20 mins away and its rush hour and my car hasn't had its AC recharged since it went out last summers end... So I opt to go to Gamestop which is down the street... Nope-- they never even got a copy shipped to their store. I see Walmart accross the street. (I've never actually shopped in a walmart but my sister who lived in GA growing up always talked about walmart like it was the worlds biggest Mall) They must have it a little voice in my mind screams out. So i walk on over there... Nope.. 0 copies... No SKU for it in their system means they dont even plan to start ordering even upon request.

So i go to Pasadena... 35 minutes later of rush hour and swamp ass(it was 97 outside that day)... What do i see? 9 copies for sale... (its week 3, thursday:since release...) 6 initially shipped and 2 per week = 10 copies max can be on the shelf. I bought the second copy. Second copy sold, from what i could tell was a 20 miles radius of stores saying "go to best buy pasadena"

Distribution seems to have been a REAL problem with this game.
As you cans see from my previous post some shops in my area didn't get enough to fulfil their pre-orders.
